Event Details

Chinwag Psych started with the first conference in May 2013 and has grown into a series of smaller events and now a new journal (PsychMatters) exploring human behaviour and big data. The events bring together a community of academics, psychologists, neuroscientists, behaviour economists, marketers and business consultants to explore the area in more depth.

Covering psychology, neuroscience, behavioural economics and more, our mission is to explore these rapidly changing disciplines. PsychMatters covers business and academic work that helps understand human behaviour and how it can be used to help develop businesses both internally and externally.

Mark Borkowski’s began in arts and entertainments. He publicised global entertainment properties such as Cirque du Soleil, Prince, Iron Maiden & launched Stomp. He was Eddie Izzard’s PR, and handled a swathe of TV dramas and comedy shows, from Our Friends in the North and Cracker to Spooks and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

His approach was inventive, energetic, free-wheeling and often controversial. In the mid-nineties, he began to advise consumer brands how to adopt this approach. Major corporates such as Vodafone, Diageo, Selfridges, Mercedes and British Bakeries reaped rich rewards as a result. In 2004 he identified a growing trend: brands were having difficulties developing creative ideas, strategies and the necessary infrastructure to meet new communication challenges.

He set up Borkowski.do to work with brands to resolve these problems by analysing brands’ assets, activities, skills, talents, audiences, objectives and configuration to create new, coherent and (above all) content-led solutions to communications problems. Mark is a respected commentator on communications issues in the national print and broadcast media and at academic and corporate conventions. He has published widely. He offers clients what few others can: consummate practical experience, incisive analysis, intelligent counsel, exceptional access to influence, and immense creativity.

Here's what some of our past attendees thought of Psych London 2013:

"All I can say is Chinwag Psych met all my expectations. Organization was perfect and lessons were both challenging and engaging for someone interesting in these issues Speakers were high-quality and I went out with a lot of new ideas! I have no doubt that I will attend next Chinwag Psych meetings."

"I've never come away from an event before that has blown my mind. The new possibilities explored by the fascinating speakers to an audience made up of the UK's leading digital minds was awesome."

"Without doubt, @ChinwagPsych yesterday was the best event I've ever attended. NOT ONE talk was useless or boring. Kudos"

"Brain enriching day spent at @chinwagpsych. Lots of great discoveries and nice people. Time and money well spent, thanks."

"For me, Chinwag Psych brought together the very latest real life experiences and thinking with technological modern day psych."

"So far, I've never been to a bad Chinwag event. The speakers were educational, informative and inspirational - with a dash of humour and silly YouTube videos thrown in, too. I had a great afternoon learning about neuroscience and behavioural psychology, which left me thinking about how I could implement it in my day-to-day PR job. Great event and would definitely recommend it to others!"
